We are not compatible

Lara came back to the sitting room to meet Biyu, her mother and Hong seated. She said nothing to them and walked toward the door. "where are you going?" Mrs Su asked. But Lara only paused before going out of the door without looking back.

She took a taxi to the burea. Feng Li should be here now with Nora. She wanted to go in but was restrained by the bodyguards. She decided to wait outside. Soon enough Feng Li came out holding Nora's hand. They both wore a sky blue suits, and Nora was smiling happily. Lara stood and watched them approaching their car when she called out.

"Feng Li!". Feng Li turned to the direction of the voice and saw Lara. He froze and for some seconds he doesn't know what next he should do or action to put up. To ignore her or try to explain to her. But what was he going to explain beyond what she had probably seen on the soical media or how else could she have probably known they would be here at this time. Or maybe he should ignore her completely, that would be better for the both of them. He knew she already felt heart broken and disappointed at his behaviour. Explaining anything now, will only hurt her the more.

Before Feng Li could think of the option to take, Nora spoke "Ho....ho.... have you come to give us your support and blessing?. We are now married and it will interest you to know that am two months pregnant already" Nora said and chuckled. Without any hint of remorse in her voice. Doesn't she know that Feng Li and Lara had been lovers? that she came as a third party and seductively lured Feng Li away from Lara?

Lara's felt her heartbeat almost skipped, Nora is pregnant already for Feng Li?. Feng Li had been cheating on her all this while without her knowing it?.

"Look Lara, we are not compatible!,Let's assume we've never meet. We are strangers now!" Feng Li said. Each word from his mouth was like a time bomb, splitting Lara's heart into pieces.

"We swore to love each other forever. Have you forgotten so soon how romantic our relationship had been and the night of our first kiss?. How you promised to love me alone for the rest of your life?. How I laboured and supported you through the university? How I stood by you and sponsored your mother's heart surgery with the money I saved to buy a house for my family?. How I pleaded with Nora to use her father's influence to get you a job?, and Now, you realise, and tell me we are not compatible?. Do you still have a heart?" Lara asked, trying her best to restrain the tears threatening to run down her cheeks.

Feng Li blinked several times and turned his face away. He doesn't want to look at Lara. Her questions had left him tongue tied. He really loved her but when Nora's father came with the promises of making him great and influential in the whole of the country, he easily forgot about his promises and love to Lara. she asked him if he still have a heart, but it seems he doesn't have anymore.

"You talk nonsense Lara. All you think you have done for my husband in the past, I can repay you at the snap of my fingers you poor trash. Don't try to ruin our happy moments together" Nora said with a voice full of reproach.

Lara walked toward them and stared at Feng Li's eyes. "You still love me right?, just say it, it was Nora who seduced you and make you turn your back at....". Before she could finish her statement, Nora gave her a slap on her chin.

Lara staggered backwards, her eyes dizzy, her vision blank. "How dare you want to be a third party in our marriage?", Nora said in fierce anger, her eyes turning red. When Lara steadied herself, she looked at Nora, red eyed. Still she tried not to shed a tear before them. She will remember this slap and one day she will revenge. She promised herself.

"Common darling, why are you getting worked-up, is not good for the baby. Let's go, why waste words with some poor wretch" Feng Li said and held Nora, and both of them entered the car and drove off.

Lara stood and watched the man she loved drove off with another woman as her husband. All the tears she had tried to forced back earlier now poured. She couldn't control her tears, and allowed them poured down. she started walking along the street. He was right she's a poor wretch.

Maybe she's Jinxed. She grew up at the orphanage. She was told that she was wrapped in a swaddling cloth and put in a basket, and left at the gate of the orphanage. She grew up in a hard way in the orphanage until when her foster mother Matron Su adopted her at her retirement.

Now, having grown-up she struggled to support her family. Now she lost her first time, lost her job and lost the only man she ever loved. This life is unfair! Why does she have to suffer so much to survive in this cruel world. She will just end her life. What sin had she committed in her previous life that she had to pay so much price in her present life.

Feng Li is a married man now. She will never love again. The price for love is too high that she doesn't want to love ever again.

As Lara was walking along the street, she didn't know that she was at a bend. She was deep in her thoughts and didn't hear the horn and screams of people around.

She raised her head suddenly, perphaps it was her intuition but it was too late, the car had drawn too close and then:
